@baad....seeing that you put the stock kernel in updates ,do you reccomend that we keep it that way , and do you personally run stock kernel ?
[HTC Sensation] B-Man2005:
douchebag ? are you kidding me ? STFU
[HTC Sensation] tigerz0202:
Just wipe dalvik and cache , not data and flash on top of 2.1, complete wipe is not needed
[HTC Sensation] baadnewz:
i use default 2.2.1. i don't need oc

the stock kernel in addons / updates is for ppl who flashed a custom kernel and want to revert back to stock.
[HTC Sensation] someonewhy:
does the latest rom contains oc?because i dont want my phone to be overclocked.
[HTC Sensation] joemm:
You make racial innuendo's because you have no patience to wait for a response to your answer......so no I'm not kidding douchebag.
[HTC Sensation] deagleone:
@ someonewhy

nope... your safe :D
[HTC Sensation] pangjeff:
hm i know someone mentioned that their stock phones didn't have sequential auto brightness, but I do distinctly remember that my stock rom had that. Is there a way to change this?

Thanks baad!
[HTC Sensation] B-Man2005:
screw you .. that was a joke you ****head
[HTC Sensation] tn6478:
Also another problem i notice is that the phone get a lil warm after lil usage. Does anyone have this problem?
[HTC Sensation] MartijnGP:
What's this WiFi PM thing? I suppose it won't fix the death grip?

Does it have something to do with the rate it's scanning for WiFi networks? As I've actually lowered that in build.prop in order to save some battery.
[HTC Sensation] ikhtiaralam:
Oh, jeez. Come on guys. I'm eighteen and I know better than to do this. Just ignore guys.
[HTC Sensation] dazzlet:
If I flash the latest 2.2.1 do I need to flash a different kernel to get the oc and if so what app do I use to control it after?
[HTC Sensation] MartijnGP:
The update zip with the UNITY 6 OV kernel contains an app as well. It's called Virtuous.
[HTC Sensation] tigerz0202:
Thanks, I don't use OC on a regular basis I normally just go with whatever the dev recommends ,I've found that is always the best thing to do. And that was all the way back to my HD2 days ..thanks for this great ROM once again
[HTC Sensation] baadnewz:
omg. i know my English ain't perfect but it ain't that bad

2.2.1 doesn't have OC enabled as default

if you want OC flash the unity kernel from 2nd post, but don't post about bugs, it already has an app to control oc or you can get setcpu or cpu master or whatever.

i fail to understand why people who are obviously clueless about OC want to do it anyway. (don't argue with me if you would know about oc you wouldn't ask how to control it) .

Sense Ui has the same smoothness with or without OC, only gain will be some scores in Benchmarks
[HTC Sensation] MartijnGP:
I noticed Sense stays smooth until you go as low as 4xx Mhz. Impressive. How do you pull this off Baad, did you enable the GPU acceleration for Sense? I know it's built in somewhere but if I remember correctly it's disabled by default.

This is why I underclocked to 600 Mhz btw. It's still smooth and most games still run nicely. Today I'm just checking out battery life, see if it affects any..
[HTC Sensation] baadnewz:
it is enabled
[HTC Sensation] nabzilla1990:
i have a asian unlocked htc sensation that im using on tmobile us and trying to get wifi calling working it works on the stock tmobile rom but not this im thinking the script isnt detecting my phone as a tmobile phone and doesnt install the wifi calling is there any way i can override that check?
[HTC Sensation] baadnewz:
yes you are correct, script doesn't identify your phone as T-mo.

to fix this you need to get your hands a little dirty - don't be scared, just a little :D

open

InsertCoin_Sensation_Android_2.3.4_Stable_2_2.1.zip\META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script with notepad or notepad++( i recommend notepad++)

and delete this lines (82 and 83)

run_program("/tmp/virtuous-setup_rom");

delete("/tmp/virtuous-setup_rom");

save updater-script, put in back to its right place inside the rom's zip (META-INF\com\google\android\) copy rom to phone and flash.

or easier method is to extract from rom :

system/app/com.android.kineto.apk

system/lib/libkineto.so

system/lib/librilswitch.so

system/lib/libganril.so

and push them on phone
[HTC Sensation] zaferaxu:
I Have a problem with superuser,ıt's closing continusly

(sorry for my bad English)
[HTC Sensation] :
... at the expense of some bugs and higher battery drain I might add :)
[HTC Sensation] Neo3000x:
Would it be possible to disable the 3D carousel in the homescreens? Like the 2.1 interface.. I remember that some Sense 21/3.0 roms on Desire had the possibility to enable/disable this.
[HTC Sensation] gcarloss:
That is faster than my PC and its hard wired to my "N" router.
[HTC Sensation] henhoy:
I had that problem at once, I rebooted to recovery, and under Advanced I ran fix permissions, that did the trick.

"tweaked GPU Profile for Quality - helpful for games and anything that uses GPU"

Does this mean higher quality but lower FPS or lower quality but higher FPS?
[HTC Sensation] L.N.X:
At the exit of wakefulness under sense icons telephone, message do not appear.

A resolution please? :confused:
[HTC Sensation] gcarloss:
Sounds like that was the long way around to complete your task.
[HTC Sensation] knights.JayTana:
Fastest ROM ive tried so far... i think im staying on this... BIG THANKS Badzzzzz..
[HTC Sensation] artymarty:
Untill I did all of them in one hit, it just kept f*ing up.... would have been quicker to type em all back in by hand hahaha
[HTC Sensation] ingnarn:
got a problem with the game cordy. screen turn grainy and reboot. anybody got this?
[HTC Sensation] baadnewz:
yah now that you mention it yes, let me do some debugging and i'll let you know

ok tested. on 2 sensations one with 2.2.1 ic (mine ) and one with 2.1 ic (missus's) and on both caused reboot so i think is some incompatibility with adreno220 driver and the game.

i was afraid that my modified gpu profile in 2.2.1 caused this but it seems no. happens with the original too
[HTC Sensation] Sdobron:
Guess I'm coming back to Insert Coin again. Went to Virtuous for the kernel and it lacks the stability of this ROM.
[HTC Sensation] if0rg0t:
The exact same thing is happening to me. I haven't tried taking a screenshot or a picture - I reset the phone instead, which fixed it. It also messed with some of my widgets - appearing as if they've been shrunk down. Removing the widgets, and re-adding them fixed it. I'm on 2.1 btw .. Downloading 2.2.1 right now, will try with that as well and report .

Strange.
[HTC Sensation] GabrielSousa:
i use UNITY v6 on this rom, and i dont have any problem ;)
[HTC Sensation] GabrielSousa:
baadnew,

UNITY has a new kernel ;)

v7b ;)
[HTC Sensation] baadnewz:
about the gaming issue at least from cordy what i managed to understand from logcat that is related to msm8660.gralloc and SurfaceFlinger which both i didn't tampered with.

even more in order to make unity v6 kernel to work on any 2.3.4 rom stock or custom you need you replace the exact same libs with older ones from 2.3.3 or you won't have image on display (yah thats the reason just the unity kernel alone wouldn't work, you needed to use older libs)

so either htc f**** pretty bad with the latest ota or change something in drivers and games dev have to catch up

nothing wrong @ my end.

to test my theory you can flash the unity v6 kernel from 2nd post and try again the game (don't worry oc is not enabled by default and you have the return to stock zip too )

dont get me wrong is not kernel related as much is lib related but i suggest using the kernel because its the easiest way cos it already replaces the libs with 2.3.3 ones

hope you understand what i'm saying
[HTC Sensation] ahoslc:
Going back to stock kernal useing V6 kernal cause phone to not wake up also get hot and horrible battery.
[HTC Sensation] SexualTaco:
I read through the release notes, a bit confused.....do I still need to wipe if going from 2.1 to 2.21? If so i think I am gonna hang out for awhile until these changes are less frequent.
[HTC Sensation] ahoslc:
It says if your coming from 2.1 or 2.2 you can go ahead and upgrade on top of it so you are good to go no need for full wipe.
[HTC Sensation] baadnewz:
and i though ppl are happy with fast updates and improvements. seems not :D

ok, i needed a vacation anyway :)
[HTC Sensation] awesomecomb:
There is empirical data proving your claims? I guess you never used an iPhone4.
[HTC Sensation] Tempestrs4:
Upgraded from 2.1 to 2.2.1 without a wipe. No problems. Great job on the rom! Super smoooooth:cool:
[HTC Sensation] Sobat:
Upgraded to 2.2.1, no problems, every thing working nice and fine...

Thanks Baadnwz ! :D
[HTC Sensation] SexualTaco:
I am not *****ing about the updates...i just use my phone for work and play so every time I wipe i am looking at a minimum of an hour of reconnecting all my services. anyway, i am assuming I do have to wipe to go from 2.1 to 2.21?
[HTC Sensation] SexualTaco:
Thanks dude. Appreciate the feedback.
[HTC Sensation] theredundant:
Think its mentioned that a wipe is not needed.
[HTC Sensation] SexualTaco:
Okay, well I just read the changelog and i guess I must be missing it. I am going to have to donate now that Baad thinks i am a dickhead... android developers are a bit fragile....;)
[HTC Sensation] tigerz0202:
Dude your doing great ,don't let it get to you ,people just need to learn how to read , if they referred to the front page of this thread then 99% of their questions would be answered
[HTC Sensation] if0rg0t:
Thanks for taking the time to look into this baad. Appreciate it. Will show appreciate in a more concrete way soon hopefully :).

Btw, updated to 2.2.1 from 2.1 with no problems. Just wiped cache + dalvik cache prior to installing the .zip.

Phone runs nice and smooth :) No comments on battery life though, as I haven't had enough time to test it. I have chargers everywhere :).
[HTC Sensation] Sobat:

I totally agree with you ! :D

[HTC Sensation] vincepg13:
Haha in the most respectful way your wrong. I use to play tiny wings on my friends iPhone before moon catcher was on android and in about half hour it would deffo drop more then 2%. Half hour light gaming I would say is about 6 hours average use (depending how you classify average)

Never the less from 10-2 my battery only drained 5%. Listened to music for about half hour, sent like 5sms, browsed for like 5 minutes...rest of the time on standby so I'm experiencing very good battery life. It's now 6.30 and I've been using the phone pretty much non stop since 2 and I'm down to 43%. Usually id deffo have to pop it on charge for a bit
[HTC Sensation] statuzz:
Bro not worries with this pp..u doing a wonderful and unique work, the last time i checked u were just a guy doing a 100's pp work...so if u need to update 5 times a day or 10 a week is fine with me....anyway at the end u are a developer and we are just a bunch of complainers ;) "yeah pp just complain for anything"

Good Job Baadnewz!!! ;)
[HTC Sensation] itsmikeramsay:

[HTC Sensation] baadnewz:
yap i presumed it will, so problems lies in the new gpu drivers brought by ota (same as not working to free space from settings) gotta luv htc!
[HTC Sensation] baadnewz:
use CPU Master
[HTC Sensation] vincepg13:
Reckon you can fix without custom kernel? The kernel messed up my WiFi, made the phone uber hot & gave me death screens after calls
[HTC Sensation] lordlad:
sorry for being a dumb ass but in the feature list, it stated,

PowerMenu + Home to grab a Screenshot

how do i do that? What do you mean by 'power menu + Home'? Power button? :(
[HTC Sensation] baadnewz:
you dont need custom kernel just some files from that package

bin

surfaceflinger

lib\egl

libGLESv2_adreno200.so

lib\hw

gralloc.msm8660.so

gralloc.default.so

lib

libsurfaceflinger_client.so

libsurfaceflinger.so

libEGL.so

libgsl.so

extract this files from the unity kernel package

push em to the correct path for each one

don't forget to chmod 777 bin\surfaceflinger

and it shoud work with ic 2.2.1 stock kernel

or try flashing this from recovery, i just made it, hope it works :D

do a backup before
[HTC Sensation] SexualTaco:
ahoslc - >Okay, I hit the thank you meter for you. Are you happy?

[HTC Sensation] Snah001:
@baadnewz

No badnews today!

Flashed 5 hours a ago to 2.2.1.

ROM 2.1 with Oc to 1.5 looked nice but playing movies they stuttered and lagged.

With 2.2.1 they play smooth without stutter or lag.

Scrolling and flipping main screen goes as fluid and fast as with OC kernel.

So for now no OC anymore with better battery performance also.

Keep up the good work!
[HTC Sensation] Bogdanbd:
Yep, press in the same time power button + home touch button et voila, u have your screenshot.
[HTC Sensation] infinityhombre:
Awesome work as usual I've flashed this to 4 different phones and they are all just amazing. I sent ya a little cash for a few beers or cheap women... whatever. 9SA45300XA587313R

[HTC Sensation] TheGeorgiaSwagger:
Is it possible to install 2.2 by itself? It seems large enough to, but I want to double check.. I never like flashing on top of one another.
[HTC Sensation] baadnewz:
2.2.1 can be flash itself :) is the whole rom. i just said you can flash over 2.1 or 2.2 without wipe but hell yes if you wanna wipe is always the best way
[HTC Sensation] awesomecomb:
Ah lite gaming, i read into it wrong. I thought you were saying. Standby for two percent over 6 hours was possible. I am sorry good sir.
[HTC Sensation] TheGeorgiaSwagger:
If Im already on RADIO 10.56 do I need to repeat the steps of installing radio and rom in correct order?

Thank you very much brodie.
[HTC Sensation] lordlad:
sorry but how is that possible?

everytime i press the power button (+ home button), the phone got locked..
[HTC Sensation] NYCguy2020:
So coming from 2.1 i don't need to flash 2.2 first,then 2.2.1??!! thanks again for a great Rom.
[HTC Sensation] joemm:
No...............skip the radio install part.
[HTC Sensation] baadnewz:
yes you can flash directly 2.2.1 over 2.1. no worries
[HTC Sensation] MiKA7:
Baadnewz do you know how to enable the secure box in the sms app like LeeDroid?? is it something that is easy to fix by yourself?
[HTC Sensation] tommeke19:
Tomorrow I'm going to buy the Sensation! :-)

And I want to flash this rom (because I've always had the InsertCoin on my Desire and it was f*ckin' amazing ;-))

So what my question is..

What are the requirements for this rom?

Greetz ;-)
[HTC Sensation] GabrielSousa:
htc sensation , LOL

and s-off ;)
[HTC Sensation] Tempestrs4:
Hold the power button down first then press home while still holding the power button. You should hear a shutter sound and get a little pop up that the screenshot has been saved.
[HTC Sensation] GabrielSousa:
the screenshot dont work for me, but i can live with that
[HTC Sensation] swa2k4:
The new stock kernel in 2.2.1 is great. Battery seems wonderful and almost as fast as my phone was running at 1.5ghz

just waiting for OC tonight?? untill then much thanks again! great kernel optimizations oh and of course SMARTASS is the bomb
[HTC Sensation] someonewhy:
hey guys i flashed this rom before and did something wrong can i reflash again this rom?i mean nothing can happend if i reflash the same rom?
[HTC Sensation] umd:
I've just made a banner for you baadnewz. Hope you guys like it :)
[HTC Sensation] Sobat:
+1 very very nice ! :D
[HTC Sensation] jdep1:
no but its always best to do a clean installation or you might end up w the same probs
[HTC Sensation] ptr_hamilton:
Looks pretty nice :)

But don't forget Baad also cooks for other devices.. maybe this should be mentioned?
[HTC Sensation] baadnewz:
is awesome thanks. ill update OP
[HTC Sensation] someonewhy:
what do you mean by clean installation?are you talking about super wipe thing?
[HTC Sensation] tinker2000:
You can try just flashing the rom again... If that doesnt work you have lost nothing but then I'm afraid you will have to Wipe data/factory reset and then reflash.

Good luck
[HTC Sensation] umd:
Bigger one for OP. I'll make another one for OP but right now I'm dealing with my firends X10 :D

Edit: uploaded again. old one had lacks of quality.
[HTC Sensation] B-Man2005:
would be nice to see a "always read the second post banner" for this rom :D:D:D
[HTC Sensation] joemm:
If you flashed an add on or changed something in the build.prop or the alike just reflash the ROM , no need to do a full data wipe again, I just wipe cache and dalvic cache then flash the ROM.

Why complicate your life with a full data wipe when it is not needed......
[HTC Sensation] GabrielSousa:
i made a little change :D

is there anychance we can hope for a better browser performance for our sensation? as i see the browser of de galaxy2 is hardware accelerated but not of our sensation. And the browser performance on my friends stock samsung galaxy s2 is still far smoother then on our heavily tuned sensation :(
[HTC Sensation] tinker2000:
Thanks for this one go to MarlinFF (Virtuous Rom thread) who seems to have fixed the 'make more space' bug. simply ADB push the attached file to /system/app

Place the apk file in your ADB tools folder and run:

ADB PUSH lmw.apk /system/app/lmw.apk

You could also plonk it in the rom before flashing :)
[HTC Sensation] Prisonierung:
Can anyone tell me, if one can feel a difference between using the stock kernel und the custom kernel?

I flashed version 2.2.1. I ask me now, if I should flash the custom kernel and what advantages this will give. Better battery life? Faster?

Thanks for an answer
[HTC Sensation] tinker2000:
It certainly benchmarks faster, but thats just a number. The oc kernel is undervolted so at stock speed it may give better battery life all things being assumed equal. You can only try it and flash back if you dont like it. :)
[HTC Sensation] awesomecomb:
I went back and clarified earlier.

Most of my android smart phones tend to use quite a bit of battery in stand-by mode. Clearing out most manufacture/carrier bloat doesn't help much to save my battery life.

When I had my iPhone, the battery would consistently stand-by for hours and not draw much juice at all.

Now with Insertcoin, there has been quite a few days where it seems my battery is lasting a while longer, one of these my battery was still 95% after 4 hours on standby. I was impressed and recorded it somewhere in this one of baadnewz' threads. The comment I responded to at first seem to mock users who were impressed with the battery life on Insertcoin (mock seems harsh, but currently I cannot think of proper word). He responded with stating he was talking about light gaming. We were talking about two different things.

Your anti-iPhone rhetoric seems excessive when it is quite easy to find that an android phone with less-than-stellar battery life. Ultimately my initial point was that smart phones have the ability to stand-by for hours without draining much battery, something evident while holding an iPhone or an Insertcoin phone.

Hey guys, if you liked that flashable file from the second post, the one with green WiFi bars and expanded quick settings, transparent notification bar, bare in mind that it removes recent apps list on ROM 2.2.1 .

Edit: 'Twas just a bug. Btw, is there any flashable file that just brings the transparent drop down notification bar, nothing else?:)

Thanks in advance!:)
